Looking at the games that released from Nintendo, I wonder whether they try to lower prices for games overall:

Captain Toad: 40 Euro
Kirby: 40 Euro
Splatoon: 40 Euro
Yoshi: 40 Euro

One or two games ok, but four in a row? So maybe they want to have most games at 40 Euro in the future, with some exceptions being large Adventures and Mario.

Well pricing in Europe is up to retailers and not Nintendo, unlike NA for example.
However that does seem like the case here..

well those 4 games are budget titles so price should reflect that.

I'm kinda surprised that they're doing that with Splatoon.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Yes, and I´m very glad for this. Nintendo is showing some flexibility with the prices of its games and I hope they keep doing it.

If only NA could sell Splatoon for cheap...

I'm still surprised that Splatoon sold for the same price as Kirby and Captain Toad since both of those are considered to be budget titles

It's been great. Pretty much all wii u titles can be bought for between 50-60 au dollars at launch. Ps4one games are at bare minimum 70 au dollars.

What about Yoshi?

It seems they differentiate based on effort put into production?
